GANESH CHATURTHI SPECIAL - Ganesh Leela

This Ganesh Chaturthi we bring to you 'Ganesh Leela', a special feature on Gaurisuta Prathameshwara Vardavinayak Lord Shri Ganesha's life from his birth. Legend has it that Lord Shiva's wife Parvati craves for a child, Shiva suggests her to do a year long 'Punyak Vrat'. Parvati starts her penance with the help of a purohita called 'Sanatkumar'. After the successful completion of her Vrata-anushthan, God Paratpar (a form of divine light) appears and gives her a boon that he himself will appear on earth as her son. Later Parvati, creates a beautiful boy from the 'ubtan' (a form of cosmic energy) of her body, treats him as her son, and gives him the responsibility of guarding her home. Its astonishing to know later how this boy gets in to a fight with Lord Shiva and subsequently ends up with an elephant head fit to his body.
